🔬 We've joined a coalition of top UK scientists and research leaders, including Brian Cox and Dr Sir Tim Hunt, to voice serious concerns about potential cuts to the #ScienceBudget. In a letter to The Times and The Sunday Times, we've warned that slashing R&D investment would halt progress,


Responding to today's #AutumnBudget announcement, IOP chief executive Tom Grinyer said: "We were pleased to hear the Chancellor Rachel Reeves talk about protecting research and development funding and reiterating the role of science and innovation in driving long-term growth in




Half way through an excellent visit to Northern Ireland with Institute of Physics. An early start for the IOP team at the Northern Ireland Assembly with a packed day of meetings


An excellent start to the day at the Northern Ireland Assembly with education minister Paul Givan with the Institute of Physics Ireland team outlining the challenges of getting more kids to study physics and tackling the shortage of physics teachers. #IOPLimitLess


Further excellent Institute of Physics Ireland meetings with Executive Office ministers Aisling Reilly SF + Pam Cameron MLA discussing the huge potential of physics in Northern Ireland, then education committee chair Northern Ireland Assembly Committee for Education Nick Mathison who agrees the need to look at physics teacher shortage


Junior Ministers Pam Cameron and Aisling Reilly met with Institute of Physics CEO Tom Grinyer and representatives at Parliament Buildings. Ministers learned more about the work of the Institute and how the future growth and innovation of Physics-Powered Industries can benefit


Having finished our day in Stormont Northern Ireland Assembly with an excellent meeting with the new Chief Science and Technology Officer for Northern Ireland Helen McCarthy the Institute of Physics Ireland team went west to Derry/Londonderry to physics in action. Institute of Physics

A great final day in Northern Ireland for the Institute of Physics Ireland team. In Derry/Londonderry with Ulster University looking at real physics in action, including AI, robotics and helping rehabilitate patients & then to FAST Technologies an advanced manufacturing company using cutting edge physics.


Reflecting on this week's IOP Institute of Physics visit to Northern Ireland, so many of the people, universities and businesses would make great nominations for the IOP's medals and prizes. Institute of Physics Ireland #IOPAwards25

Looking back over the year a highlight for me was being appointed a trustee of the Patients Association. Today they launched their Christmas appeal. The target is £4,230 - just £1 for every person their helpline has supported in the last year. Please help if you can.

2025 is the UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 designated International Year of Quantum. Pleased to be Berlin at the first global event of the year representing Institute of Physics. Well done DPG!


The IOP @physicsnews is proud to sponsor the International Year of Quantum Science & Technology #iyq2025, launched at UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 in Paris this week, with events across 2025. Great to meet old friends and make new ones. physicsworld.com/a/internationa…


Super day in Newcastle with local mp + chair of UK Parliament science committee Chi Onwurah 💙 visiting physics businesses. The need for more physics based skills + better science infrastructure keep cropping up, key themes of the IOP’s Institute of Physics strategy: iop.org/strategy

Really pleased to help open The Royal Society conference on Quantum Information with past IOP Institute of Physics presidents Prof Shelia Rowan and Sir Peter Knight. A great opening UK event for the International Year of Quantum. More events here: iop.org/physics-commun…


The International Year of Quantum kicked off in the UK yesterday with an exciting conference hosted by the The Royal Society, focused on the future of quantum-based computing, networks, and sensing systems. 🚀 The event featured insightful talks from IOP's chief executive


Congratulations to Prof Ian Chapman, an IOP fellow and award winner, on his appointment as the next CEO of UK Research and Innovation! IOP chief executive Tom Grinyer said: "As a highly experienced and well-respected leader in the scientific community, Sir Ian is well placed to
